Thanks. I'm currently fitting in one 84" EPIQ with all of my stuff, apart from shop tools and equipment of course. I use my EPIQ for hand tools and various kits only and it works. Measuring dept is constantly growing but I'm still doing ok. I hear you re worktop and as convenient as it is, I'd...

My only reservation for not going for a locker (or two) is it will be extremely difficult to move my toolbox about. At the moment it's in a temporary spot and when someone needs access to area next to it, I move it. So making it even wider is where it gets tricky for me.

Right.. Didn't think about that. Thank you. I will struggle to reach to the back of top drawers, that's for sure. A bit of a downer this one but again, thanks for bringing it up.

The argument was budget China vs old USA/Europe tools. By the same token, you'll spend even more on gas when you have to bring that modern Chinese budget junk back for exchange for another Chinese budget junk because it broke on second use. Instead you can get a quality 'used' tool and with...

Yup. I've used my Probe twice. Test light + voltmeter it is for me too.

I'm absolutely happy with my 84" EPIQ. Fantastic box, the best I've had so far. Coming from a 72" KRL I wasn't expecting such a massive difference in... everything really. Drawer layout, 3 full length drawers, height and of course the depth. Great, just great box. I've got an issue however and...

I couldn't do any metalwork without my compressor. I'd say keep it, you never know what you might need to run on it.

This. I wouldn't even look at modern "cheap" imports. Flea market, car boot sale is where I'd shop for the good old quality iron. :thumbup:

I'm a big fan of Kennedy tool chests. I think you did good considering the condition of those.

T-dollies, panel beating hammers - this sort of stuff.

SAE and Whitworth spring to mind. Not that I completely don't use them - just a few sets too many!

It's just a vise resto video people. Take apart a handful of parts, clean and re-asssemble. I don't get all the admiration. It's just a job..

Likewise lol... I think he can try by selling those boxes... that shop is too clean. :wtf:

I've got a USSR made chuck. It's in a pretty good shape. I've had to take it apart, clean and oil and it looks like it will work another century.

Has anyone got a picture of Snap On Epiq 84" roll cab *AND* top box? I can see tons of setups with workcentres and lockers but yet to see at least one with a proper top box..

My driver offered me a triple wide drawer 84" EPIQ for $6250 + my box, which is a cheap Chinese made 40 something inch stack with a side locker. I don't need the 84" but it's only $350 more than the 68" EPIQ I was after and comes with an armored top. What would be a typical discount for the...

I'm sure you were jesting... in case you weren't... Record 114 if 8" was about the jaws width :beer:

Thank you! Although it's probably a bit of an overkill, I see what you mean. Found a video on YT that shows how it's done. For anyone interested - .

Flapper was going to be my choice but thought I'd ask if there's something better out there. ;) Troublemaker eh? :headscrat I'm restoring a vise as a present for someone who is dear to me as well as much older. They'll never use it but it will hopefully remind them of good old times when they...

Gotcha. The question is what you - good people - use to restore anvils that are on the back of some vises, other than the mill. Flap disc? File? I wanted mine perfectly flat with a mirror finish if possible. A machine effect but hand made. So please share your tips and tricks - I'm all...
